File Encryption

Discover the advanced technology that keeps your files secure with Encrypt2Me.

How Encrypt2Me Protects Your Files

End-to-End Encryption

Your files are encrypted before they leave your device and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient. Even we can't access the contents of your files.

AES-256 Encryption

We use the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with a 256-bit key length, providing 2^256 possible combinations and making brute-force attacks infeasible.

Our Encryption Process

Key Generation

A unique 256-bit encryption key is generated for each file upload batch.

File Encryption

Your file is encrypted using AES-256 encryption with the generated key.

Key Management

The encryption key is never stored on our servers. It's provided to you for sharing.

Secure Storage

The encrypted file is stored on our servers, unreadable without the key.

Secure File Sharing

Two-Part Sharing System

When you share a file, you're actually sharing two pieces of information:

  • A link to the encrypted file on our servers
  • The unique encryption key

The recipient needs both to access the file. We recommend sharing these separately for added security.

Advanced Key Management

Password-Protected File Keys

  • File encryption keys are further encrypted on our servers
  • We use a shared secret derived from your account password
  • Your password is required to search or download files
  • Even if our servers were compromised, your file keys remain protected

Multi-Layered Security

  1. Your files are encrypted with unique keys
  2. These keys are then encrypted using your password-derived secret
  3. The encrypted keys are stored on our servers

Accessing your files requires both the encrypted file and your password to decrypt the file key.

User Experience and Security

Password Verification for File Access

To maintain this high level of security, you'll need to enter your password when:

  • Searching for files in your account
  • Downloading files from your account
  • Accessing file collections

While this may require an extra step, it ensures that only you can access your encrypted files, even if someone gains unauthorized access to your account.
